As much as a health system free at the point of delivery sounds wonderful, in reality you have to look at what's actually being delivered. It actually puts government expenditure at the centre of the system, as in any centralised system the patients are at the periphery. You are seriously misguided if you think doctors are significantly advantaged materially in Australia; some are, many are not. It's irrelevant anyway to any discussion of what makes a better system. Hopefully we are all better off, which is what makes this a great country to live in.
